About “Ewigkeit”
The title means 'Eternity,' and this is an original German-language worship song, not a translation, written by Nikolai Nilkens and Mia Friesen and released by the German worship band Outbreakband in May 2020 with guest vocalist Pala Friesen. The song voices a longing for a place where suffering ends and declares eternity to be the believer's true home, even in the face of death. Its chorus directly echoes Ecclesiastes 3:11, the verse that says God has set eternity in the human heart.
